Default Setting up tractors for snow-Wise men come forth!

I'm setting up the 1450 & 582 for snow duty. The 1450 will have the QA-42A & 42 inch rear blade. This is my 1st year with a tractor mounted snow thrower. The 582 will have a 42 inch front blade after I remove the hydraulic angle kit. I intend to load the rear tires on both tractors with RV antifreeze as soon as I research how to do it. 582 has tubes, 1450 does not. I have 1 set of 2 link V-Bar chains and 4 wheel weights. I think the weights are 75 pounds each. Should I split the weights between the 2 tractors? Chains on the 582? I clear driveways in the subdivision so I'm not sure the QA-42A will work. If not, I'll put the front blade back on the 1450.
